Bottom Pair Good For Worthington-Leese
"I'm getting really short. I have to play another pot with Jessica," Alex Keating said.
"No, go after my neighbor," Jessica Teusl replied, pointing at Endrit Geci.
"He's so tight, though. He's the perfect player to finish fourth in this tournament," Keating added.
Geci decided to open things up by raising to 20,000 in middle position. Keating then three-bet to 105,000 in the small blind, and Geci folded.
"Pick one," Keating said, and Geci choose the Q♥.
The next hand, Keating opened to 20,000 on the button and Leo Worthington-Leese called in the big blind.
"He takes in all the information and gives away none," Keating said about Worthington-Leese, who remained silent with his headphones on. Keating continued for 30,000 on the Q♥9♠8♥ flop, and Worthington-Leese called.
The turn was the A♥ and Keating bet another 80,000. Worthington-Leese again called, and they both checked the A♣ river.
Worthington-Leese showed J♠8♣ for two pair, and Keating mucked.
